Editorial Reviews

You Can Write series. Grammar discusses parts of speech, punctuation, and proofreading. A list of “Common Grammar Goofs” is appended. Essay defines what one is, covers different forms, provides information on research and writing, and includes a sample essay. Students will find these serviceably written books useful, but the dull layout is off-putting and a joking cartoon pencil is annoying. Reading list, websites., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2005
